A:AnswerThis Dynex adapter has the flat parallel blades adapter used in parts of North America, South America, the Caribbean, & Japan, the round thin pins which work in Europe, parts of the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and South America, the flat angled blades used in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and parts of China, the round thick pins used in Northern Europe, and the 3-prong blades used in Great Britain, Ireland, parts of Africa, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The adapter isn't specified so much for countries as it is for the different types of outlets in the world. I would recommend looking into the type of outlet used in the country you are travelling to and checking to see if it fits any of these adapters. Cheers!
A:AnswerI recently went to Sweden. You should check the charger to be sure, but I believe it accepts 120 VAC (US power supply), as well as other international power supplies (typically 240 VAC). All I needed was the adapter with the two cylindrcal prongs; no transformer needed. The USB wall charger automatically converted it to the correct voltage.
A:AnswerLook at your IPad charger - or any other charger nameplate for that matter - if it states 'AC 100 - 240V, 50 - 60 HZ' you don't need a converter, just an adapter to go from your plug configuration to the configuration in the country you are going. Most modern electrics and electronics are good for 100 - 240V. An adapter allows the plug to fit, a converter steps the 240 volt down to 120 volt.
A:AnswerIf you still need this, get a converter that's both high and low. you need low for electronics and high for things like your flat iron. If you plug your ds into a high, you could mess up the battery or cord. But you will need both the adapter and converter. This answer is probably late since your question was 3 months ago, but I just posted a review and this question came up.
A:AnswerYes, for the devices rated 100-240v and 50-60 Hz, you just need the adapter. Your hair dryer would need the convertor.
The charging time is a tricky question and I can't find an exact answer. It does appear that the Voltage isn't as big an issue as the frequency. The 50 Hz will cause slightly slower charger speeds as compared to 60 Hz, but it shouldn't be much slower.
A:AnswerYes, it is very important to make sure that the phone and tablet don't draw more than 25 Watts when charging. From what I have found, most appear to pull around 10 W. You should be OK to use this charger for both the tablet and phone.

A:AnswerYes, that adapter/ converter will allow you to use your 120V products on 240V outlets. The maximum wattage for devices is 1875 so that will work. Keep in mind, when using any devices that require over 25 watts, you can only use the adapter for 10 minutes at a time or it will overheat.
A:AnswerBecause this unit is only intended for 10 minute usage period before cooling down, this would most likely not be the best option. I'm assuming the noise machine is intended for longer periods overnight, etc.
A:AnswerSpain actually has both types of plugs. It's going to depend on where you are. I would recommend taking both plugs since both plug types are present in Spain.
A:AnswerNo, but you don't need to convert the Hz. The only side effect is that the devices may work slower than usual. They will not be damaged by using 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz.
A:AnswerI see no reason why you couldn't use it for long periods. The purpose of it is to convert the voltage and to convert plugs to accommodate the plugs we use in the US.
A:AnswerNo, the DX-TCADPT converts 220V used in other countries down to the 110V/120V used in the US. It will not convert the US power up to the 220V your toothbrush uses.
